Pat Deegan, Ph.D and Terry StreckerInside Outside: Building A Meaningful Life After The Hospital (Pt. 1) (2004)
Inside Outside is a work of hope created by former patients and film-makers Pat Deegan and Terry Strecker. The film depicts the lives of eight people with very significant histories of institutionalization, as they transition from nursing homes and psychiatric hospitals into the community. In the spirit of the President’s New Freedom Initiative and the Supreme Court’s Olmstead Decision, the film carries the message that recovery and life in the community are possibilities even for people who are viewed as the most chronic or impaired. The film leaves audiences of professionals and people with psychiatric disabilities alike, cheering for these eight individuals as they make their journey from inside institutions to full community inclusion on the outside. Produced for the US Department of Health And Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services. Running Time: 50 minutes. This is Part 1 of 2 parts. Part 2 can be found at http://www.archive.org/details/InsideOutsidePart2
